I would take these TIFFs into a page layout or image enhancement program that can create PostScript output. I would then run Adobe's Acrobat distiller against the PS files, creating .PDFs that as ASCII can move on the 'Net and are compressed. There should be little to no quality loss in the .PDFs. You should be able to set up a group of macros to open, place and output the files and then a second set to distill.

Onward.
